I’ve never seen any life transformation that didn’t begin with the person in question finally getting tired of their own bullshit Read more

The truth is, I will never ‘find’ myself… Read more

You would think with the amount of times I’ve written a post like this in the past I would learn that there is no such thing as permanent stability. But here we are again. I recently turned 28 and while I have achieved a lot over the past few years, something wasn’t right. I’d been Read more

Over the years of this blog, I have gone from posting weekly to yearly! If that is a sign that I simply have nothing left to say, then I’ll let you be the judge of that, but as is tradition for this time of year on Rachaelic I’m back for a post. I just read Read more

It’s been over a whole year since I last even looked at this site, let alone sat down to write! I thought a great way to come back is with a classic, something many of us have done over the years which is a birthday reflection post. I remember doing one of these when I Read more

There is something I need to change if I want to move on, and this is what I’m doing in 2022. Read more

It’s that time of the year again! I’m sure you’re sick of hearing it, but can you believe it’s almost Christmas? We’ve been through a lot, collectively and individually, this past year and it’s made things weird. It doesn’t quite feel as magical and fun as it should, don’t you think? Things are still up Read more

I wanted to write a short little post today because it’s something I’m thinking about. It’s something I’ve lived this morning and I thought it was a good lesson to share with you lovely lot, so here we are. You don’t need me to tell you again that I’m an introvert, but it is relevant. Read more

As I’m writing this post, I can’t remember specifically what inspired this thought, but I have a feeling it was either a TED Talk video or a podcast. Either way, what matters most is the lesson behind it – although I do believe in sharing your sources when you can! – so I’m going to Read more

I wanted to call this post ‘Sunday Scheming’ because that day marks the end of a week for me, and that’s usually when I get randomly inspired to change my whole life. However, it’s currently a bank holiday in England which means this week is having a later start than usual for most, but I’ve Read more

Before I go into this post, I just want to preface it by saying that I’m writing this in a low mood state. Writing is cathartic and I’m hoping by the end of this post I’ll feel lighter, but just to warn you, in case you too are in a dark place right now, that Read more

It seems as though all of the posts I have made throughout this year are inspired by some kind of revelation I’m having about my life (read: crisis) With a lot of spare time on my hands and not a lot of outside stimulation, I’ve been overthinking and revaluating more than usual. If you read Read more

As someone who runs this self-development blog, I’m acutely aware of the way that my content might make someone feel. I write about self-development and self-improvement so much because it is an area that I’m obsessed with. As I’ve mentioned before, most of the content I consume in my free time is within this field Read more

I am quite an opinionated person. This was something that I prided myself on when I was younger, as I thought it made me sound ‘strong’. Really, it just made me sound like a dickhead. Now there’s nothing wrong with expressing your opinions, obviously. But have you ever met someone who explicitly calls themselves ‘opinionated’ Read more

I spoke about coping mechanisms in my most recent post, where I was addressing one particular bad habit that I’ve developed over the years. While I don’t want to get too repetitive here, I’m not quite finished with this topic of conversation. I’ve been thinking a lot about coping mechanisms, habits, and the things we Read more

I made several bold statements at the end of last year regarding the changes I wanted to make to my life, health, and habits. Before the beginning of this year – doesn’t that seem like a long time ago?! – I decided that I wanted to go on a no buy for the following 12 Read more
